Share the canonical public link.
Moonshot AI emailed shareholders this week stating it will begin dismantling its red-chip offshore structure. The move aligns with Beijing’s requirements for Chinese companies pursuing overseas listings and follows unsuccessful attempts at a waiver for the existing Cayman Islands setup. Moonshot, developer of the Kimi chatbot, closed a $2 billion round earlier in May 2026 that lifted its valuation above $20 billion, with total funding since late 2025 reaching roughly $3.9 billion. The company’s annualized recurring revenue reached about $200 million as of April 2026. Bloomberg reported the IPO consideration on March 26, 2026.
